Abstract

A portable mask management device for handling at least one mask is disclosed. The device includes a mask holding container (“container”) having a sidewall and upper and lower peripheral rims, wherein an upper portion of the sidewall is attached with an upper base using the upper peripheral rim and a lower portion of the sidewall is attached with a lower base using the lower peripheral rim. The upper base seals an upper portion of the container and the lower base seals a lower portion of the container. The upper base and the lower base form a sealed volume in the container for holding the at least one mask, where the at least one mask is rolled inside of the sidewall of the container. The sidewall comprises a first aperture along a length of the sidewall in the container to allow movement of the at least one mask.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable mask management device for handling at least one mask comprising:
 a mask holding container having a sidewall, an upper peripheral rim, and a lower peripheral rim;   an upper portion of the sidewall attached with an upper base using the upper peripheral rim, the upper base sealing an upper portion of the mask holding container;   a lower portion of the sidewall attached with a lower base using the lower peripheral rim, the lower base sealing a lower portion of the mask holding container;   the upper base and the lower base forming a sealed volume in the mask holding container for holding the at least one mask, wherein the at least one mask is rolled inside of the sidewall of the mask holding container; and   at least one portion of the sidewall comprises a first aperture along a length of the sidewall in the mask holding container to allow movement of the at least one mask.   
     
     
         2 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein a first end of the first aperture is coupled with the upper base and a second end of the first aperture is coupled with the lower base such that the first aperture allows an inside movement and an outside movement of the at least one mask. 
     
     
         3 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein an upper side opening is formed in the upper base;
 a lower side opening is formed in the lower base; 
 a roller arrangement is connected between the upper side opening and the lower side opening in the mask holding container; and 
 a knob attached with the roller arrangement, wherein the at least one mask is rolled on the roller arrangement and the roller arrangement assists the movement of the at least one mask in the mask holding container, wherein the at least one mask is rolled into the mask holding container using the knob, and wherein a space is formed between the roller arrangement and the sidewall. 
 
     
     
         4 . The portable mask management device of  claim 3  wherein the roller arrangement comprises a first rod, a second rod, and at least one rod movement controller, wherein the at least one rod movement controller controls the movement of the first rod in the mask holding container, wherein a diameter of the second rod is less than a diameter of the first rod such that the second rod passes through the first rod and holds the first rod and the at least one rod movement controller in the roller arrangement. 
     
     
         5 . The portable mask management device of  claim 3  wherein the roller arrangement comprises a first rod and at least one rod movement controller, wherein the at least one rod movement controller controls the movement of the first rod in the mask holding container. 
     
     
         6 . The portable mask management device of  claim 4  or  claim 5  wherein the upper peripheral rim and the lower peripheral rim are constructed and arranged for receiving the at least one rod movement controller in the mask hol ding container. 
     
     
         7 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein one end of a second aperture is provided with an upper aperture closing end and another end of the second aperture is provided with a lower aperture closing end, wherein the upper aperture closing end and the lower aperture closing end are formed space apart from each other. 
     
     
         8 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein at least one handle assists a user to hold the mask holding container, wherein ends of a holding element connect with at least one handle. 
     
     
         9 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein at least one handle assists a user to hold the mask holding container, wherein ends of a holding element connect with a portion of the tipper base and a portion of the lower base. 
     
     
         10 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall is formed using two sub-walls, wherein the two sub-walls are symnetrical to each other and at least one hinge is attached with the upper base and the lower base respectively to connect the two sub-walls of the sidewall. 
     
     
         11 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the lower peripheral rim and the upper peripheral rim is formed as an integral part of the mask holding container. 
     
     
         12 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein the at least one mask comprises tightening members, wherein at least one tightening member is attached with the roller arrangement, wherein the at least one mask comprises a filter respirator to allow inhalation and exhalation through a breathable portion of the least one mask. 
     
     
         13 . The portable mask management device of  claim 1  wherein the portable mask management device is made of at least one of wood, plastic, glass and metal, wherein the at least one mask is made of at least one of cloth and plastic.
